Meta | Approach to Labeling AI-Generated Content and Manipulated Media
Meta is making changes to the way they handle manipulated media on Facebook, Instagram and Threads based on feedback from the Oversight Board to update the approach to reflect a broader range of content that exists today and provide context about the content through labels.
Some Key Takeaways include:
- Continue to remove content, regardless of whether it is created by AI or a person, if it violates our policies against voter interference, bullying and harassment, violence and incitement, or any other policy in our Community Standards.
- Network of nearly 100 independent fact-checkers will continue to review false and misleading AI-generated content.
- Begin labeling a wider range of video, audio and image content as “Made with AI” when detecting industry standard AI image indicators or when people disclose that they’re uploading AI-generated content.
